Sinossi

Toilet Paper Secrets unveils the surprising global history of personal hygiene after defecation. Far from a trivial topic, the book explores diverse cultural practices and materials used throughout history, revealing insights into cultural values, technological advancements, and the human body. For instance, ancient Romans used a sponge on a stick, while islanders used coconut husks. Understanding these past practices helps us view current approaches to sanitation and sustainability.

 
The book begins by establishing a historical context, examining pre-toilet paper methods across various cultures. It then transitions to the advent of commercially produced toilet paper, charting its evolution and ubiquity. It also examines the social and environmental consequences of widespread toilet paper consumption.

 
This narrative emphasizes human ingenuity and adaptation across time and cultures, providing a unique lens on social development. This exploration adopts a global perspective, integrating environmental and social considerations. The book draws from archaeological findings, historical texts, anthropological studies, and scientific research.

 
By connecting the history of toilet paper to fields like environmental science and public health, the pages of Toilet Paper Secrets prompt readers to reconsider their relationship with a seemingly mundane object.

Carrie Kills A Man - A Memoir

Carrie Marshall

Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life. It's the story of how a tattooed transgender rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad, and of the lessons you learn when you renounce all your privilege and power.

When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that – and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online. But here's the reality, from someone who's living it. From coming out and navigating trans parenthood to the thrills of gender-bending pop stars, fashion disasters and looking like Velma Dinkley, this is a tale of ripping it up and starting again: Carrie's story in all its fearless, frank and funny glory.

*"Spoiler: That man was me." – Carrie
"Nasty & funny! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." - Patton Oswalt
